There is great coni plaint about thobby:ln
fluence An anonymous letter was addres
sed to one of the members of the Council,
Containing something , in' the shape of a
threat, in case th? bank bills should be de
feated.. - A Committee was appointed to
enquire into the facts; but the House still
went on, voting fof the banks." It is is im,'
possible to conceive of a .greater indiscre
tion. There is po ' act of .sovereignty
which', ought to be .more cautiously exer
cised, than the concession of charter's It
is' parting, as it were,r with a pohioh'of the
sovereign, power ;of the state, it cannot be
recovered, without! an imputation upon the

exercise, , but some, great palpable good. to

ly to be attajned in any other manner.---But,
it is out of reason thus to be multiply
ing bank charters: and permitting them to
endure -; for ,50 or 1.1 50 years ! ; The citi
zens of New-York! are vastly indignant at
the proceeding. They say these banks are
all to be " located at or near Jersey City
" at their very -.doors, threatening; them
with an incalculable evil which it is beyond

90 feet in length, 30 in width, and about 35
in heighth. It is divided into twelve arched
alcoves, ornamented with fluted pilasters,
copied from the pillars of the celebrated
Octagon Tower at Athens. At the en
trance, in the centre of the room, which is
approached from the great central rotunda,
are two columns of stone, with capitals cor
responding with those of the pilasters ; and
immediately opposite, and fronting the
window which leads into' the western co-
lonnade, stand two smilar columns of stone;
Those pillars, with the alcoves support
two galleries, extending nearly " the whole
length bf the room, on both sides, and di
vided into the same number of shelved re
cesses at the lower apartment. From these
recesses springs the arch which forms the
ceiling,1 elegantly ornamented: with rich
stucco borders,- panne Is, and wreaths of
flowers.: ; On the roof,- which is about ten
feet above the ceiling-, are three skylights.
the wells of which are also beautifully decb-'
rated with stucco ornaments. I hrough these,
and the windows on the west, the light is
admitted into the room, and can be lessen
ed or increased at pleasure, by means of
Venitian blinds. The principal apartment,'
as well as the reading rooms on the north,
attached to it, is handsomely furnished with
sophas, mahogany tables, desks, Brussels,
carpeting, &c. '. At each corner of. this
